Post- versus intra-operative implant for breast cancer interstitial brachytherapy: How to choose?
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the comprehensive analysis of both the brachytherapy techniques available, this article serves as a valuable resource to guide breast teams in selecting the optimal BB technique (POB or IOB), considering hospital environment, multi-disciplinary collaboration, and patient logistics.PMID:38584881 | PMC:PMC10993897 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2024.135635 (Source: Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy)

Radiomics-based discriminant analysis of principal components to stratify the treatment response of lung metastases following stereotactic body radiation therapy
The lung is the second most common site for metastases for most solid tumor (such as primary lung cancer itself, colorectal, head and neck, renal cell and breast cancer), with 20 –54 % of cancer patients developing lung metastases during their disease [1]. If patients with aggressive metastatic dissemination are usually treated with systemic therapy, patients with a modest metastatic burden, also known as oligometastatic disease, are more likely to benefit from local trea tment [2]. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a potentially effective alternative treatment modality that is now regarded as being equally ...

Diagnostic performance of a deep-learning model using 18F-FDG PET/CT for evaluating recurrence after radiation therapy in patients with lung cancer
ConclusionThe 2D slice-based CNN model using18F-FDG PET imaging was able to distinguish well between RT-related changes and tumour recurrence in patients with lung cancer. (Source: Annals of Nuclear Medicine)

Comprehensive radiotherapy for pediatric Ewing Sarcoma: Outcomes of a prospective proton study
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, LC for pediatric patients with EWS treated with PRT was comparable to that of historical patients who received photon-RT. Tumor size ≥ 8 cm predicted increased risk of local failure. Patients with metastatic disease, including non-pulmonary only metastases, received radiation therapy to all metastatic sites and had favorable survival outcomes.PMID:38583721 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110270 (Source: Cancer Control)

Safety Analysis Using Event Tree Analysis for Multi-Ion Therapy
In this study, we conducted a safety analysis using event tree analysis (ETA) for newly introduced processes in the treatment planning, accelerator, and irradiation system of the multi-ion therapy. ETA is an optimal method to verify multiple safety barriers that are essential for medical safety and to shorten the time for safety analysis by focusing only on the new processes. Through ETA, we clarified the types of malfunctions and human errors that may lead to serious accidents in the new system for multi-ion therapy, and verified whether safety barriers such as interlock systems and human check procedures are sufficient t...
